White House Wants Critics to Stop Echoing Trump's Rhetoric: Flunking Self Awareness.
Addresses:
-"Fascist" claims
-"Threat to Democracy" claims
-"Hitler" claims
-Even Hakeem Jeffries "Maximum Warfare" in redistricting
“Those who compare Trump to Adolf Hitler: I’m not aware of any leading Democratic officials who have compared the president to Hitler, and Leavitt didn’t point to any examples. But for the record, the most prominent political voices that have made the comparison are JD Vance, Trump’s vice president, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s health and human services secretary.”

86 in the restaurant industry always meant we were out of an item.I’ve seen where Comey has implied he did not arrange the shells but came across them on a walk along the beach. He internalized that someone was trying to make a political statement and so he snapped a pic. Posted it. 15 minutes later deleted it.
Mariam Webster defines 86 as an informal verb meaning to refuse to serve a customer, or to get rid of and throw out someone or something. It goes on to say that it can mean to dispense or eliminate something.
There are so many outs for the defense I just don’t see a coherent strategy for the prosecution that doesn’t get laughed at unless they have recordings or communication where Comey admits this was a threat he intended.
When I worked in the service industry (waiter, bartender, occasional cook), 86 meant a few things:86 in the restaurant industry always meant we were out of an item.
Did Trump’s policy directly cause those wives to be deported? Yes — that was a direct result of government policy, not some rogue third party’s independent action.
Did Biden’s border policy directly cause a murder? No — an individual still had to enter illegally and choose to commit murder. That is not the same as government policy directing or intending harm. (And immigrant crime rates are generally lower than citizens’.)
Trump made a bad decision pardoning all the J6 defendants. But he did not directly cause later crimes some pardoned individuals committed, including child molestation.
You’re ignoring what direct means because it doesn’t fit your argument. There’s a big difference between a policy whose operation itself causes harm, and a policy not intended to cause harm where someone who benefited from it later commits harm.
